7th Grade Science Course Syllabus and Overview__
Welcome to 7th grade Science! Over the course of the next four quarters, we will be studying a variety of topics in this room. Hopefully, we can all look forward to a fun-filled year of experimenting, observing, and studying the world around us through Science. Science is not a thick, boring book of facts; it is a method for us to discover how the world (even universe) works by DOING THINGS hands-on. In this regard, we will certainly be taking the hands-on approach to science.
